Our blog this week focuses on the many themes in the book Wonder, by RJ Palacio. Remember, a theme is the lesson or message of the text (many people confuse theme with main idea, but remember the main idea is what the story is mostly about). Use the list of themes below to help.
1.) Choose a theme you think relates to Wonder.
2.) Explain why you chose this theme and use text evidence to support your thinking.
3.) Include the title and author.
Example: One of the many themes in the book, Amal Unbound by Aisha Saeed, is hope. In a culture where girls don't always have the same opportunities to education as boys, Amal maintains hope that even after missing school to tend to her siblings, she can get back to school. Her hope waivers, but never disappears after her life is altered when standing up for herself in the marketplace. Amal always carries hope that she'll return to her family one day after becoming a servant to the Khans.
